tossing a gallon of sunflower seeds ....for the birds......
i don't know why... it was an automatic action....

A couple of years ago I had about 20 of them in the front yard...Must have been the acorns...My understanding is that acorns have a bumper crop every other year???  |
I'm going where I'm going...

heading my direction and grabbed the digital camera quickly.
they come and go so fast....  eating the bread i threw out there for the bluejays.... so for you turkey hunters..... here's what i just saw.

saw the stalking of prey today
(what a site!) sorry no photos ...as it happened to fast.
this morning ...i was drinking my coffee ...right...
and out pops the Same red Fox who is about to make
tracks and then it stops short... because it "heard something"
over the edge of the hillside .....unaware of it's presence ....
some animal /bird was eating some seeds i threw there.... so.....
similar to a cat approach ...it made several crouched...short
approaches... until it sees his prey and freezes solid...motionless
then suddenly it leaps threw the air....with the bushy tail stretched
out perfectly straight for perfect trajectory and disappears over the
edge vanishing out of site.... i know he scored !  |

:o)
i will be opening a herb store someday.
rest assured.
~
i remember being stopped by the texas rangers on one of my cross country adventures leaving california back to the east coast...as i move allot and especially like new climates.
These good old boys thought they found the mother load of drugs when searching the van they found
a big package of bagged up herbs that all looked like weed.
They were all giddy now excited about their big bust.... so, i calmly explained to them that i am a herbalist and that all the bags are labeled and are all different smells and textures. well they wouldn't have any of that tall story and out came the handcuffs....
you could do life in prison for a single pot seed just about in texas... friggan idiotic laws... 
then one
officer who by luck was also a gardener said....no he's right and he doesn't have this huge stash...and deflated
their ego's much to their dissatisfaction and they let us go...but not before i gave them a history lesson they'll never forget. |

More nice turkey shots, Rav. My son's father in law has had 6 in his yard for over a year. One morning last spring he went out the door to his car and 1 attacked him, wouldn't let him near the car. I have a feeling it was a female and had her chicks around the car somewhere.
I seperated a mother from her chicks in the woods one day, she gobbled and the chicks just froze so camo'd you couldn't see them, and she just tried to draw all the attention to herself. Cool stuff.  |
